For the last few months, I've been keeping an eye on almost every RMT on Fairy server. Chalk it up to morbid curiousity more than anything else. Every time this ban stick comes around, about 10% of the RMT's on Fairy are removed. Some RMT have managed to be around for over two years. With his Special Task Force in place, you'd think they wouldn't be as ineffective about removal of RMT as much as they are.
Oh. And for those of you who aren't aware. This site is reportedly owned by cannotlinkto. Putting money into this website is the same as supporting RMT.
Accounts Banned (03/22/2007)
Over 7,900 accounts in violation of the FINAL FANTASY XI user agreement were suspended or banned today. These accounts belonged to users that engaged in RMT activities or made use of third-party tools or "cheats".
We would like to report the termination today of multiple accounts held by players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT (Real Money Trading) activities.
Based on the results of our investigation, over 6,800 PlayOnline accounts were terminated while over 1,100 accounts were temporarily suspended.
Details of the violations are as follows:
- Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
Approx. 1,050 cases
- Usage of tools that circumvent game mechanics with respect to the timing of ability use, etc. in certain areas or at points where Notorious Monsters appear.
Approx. 500 cases
- Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
Approx. 2,650 cases
* The above number reflects the total number of accounts banned within the period of a month. This does not include individual cases handled by GMs.
- Accounts from people that were previously confirmed to have RMT connections, or that had violated the user agreements but re-subscribed to PlayOnline.
Approx. 2,500 cases
- RMT-related activity
Approx. 1,200 cases
The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of approximately 134 billion gil from circulation.
We would like to remind players that as well as adversely affecting game balance, the use of third-party tools or cheats can also have consequences that are not immediately obvious, such as introducing damaging viruses, and comprising the security of private account details. Usage of third-party tools will not be tolerated within FINAL FANTASY XI, and we will continue to severely penalize any players found to be in violation of the PlayOnline Member Agreement.
As we continue to ensure a fun and balanced environment for FINAL FANTASY XI, we hope that our players enjoy the game as it was intended and take care to avoid involvement in activities that violate the PlayOnline Member Agreement.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.
